From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With so much technology at our fingertips these days, smartphone users only have to download an app to get the latest trends for their handset.
However, a new video proves that sometimes good old fashioned arts and crafts is the best way to completely change your phone.
The tutorial video Turn Your Phone into a 3D Hologram has been viewed a quarter of a million times since being uploaded yesterday.
It guides users through the process of creating a hologram.
To make your own, you will need: graph paper, a CD case, tape, a pen, scissors, a knife and, of course, a smartphone.
A perspex CD cover cut into trapezoids is carefully taped together to create a funnel. When placed on top of the lit screen, a 3D image is reflected.
This gives the appearance of a 3D image projecting out of the phone in the form of a hologram.
